I've been tagged by the AWESOME and INCREDIBLE Tara Tyler, the queen of haiku and author of July's smash debut, Pop Travel.

So here are 4 questions and my answers :-)

1. What are you working on right now?
I'm currently getting things in order for releasing THEY ALL FALL DOWN (follow up to Neverlove) October 2013. I'm also working on my MG Sekrit project and learning about picture book writing.

2. Why do you write what you do?
I love to read...a lot. So I write things I would want to read. Like Neverlove...I don't want to read it because I authored it, but because the action, paranormal and budding romance really make me want to sit down with a bottle of wine and enjoy the story of pained teenagers and their forbidden love.

3. What is the hardest part about writing?
Time. Time isn't something for wasting, though I procrastinate like the dickens lol!! It is hard to make time for writing when you have a full time day gig, a kiddo deserving of my time and attention, along with marketing and promoting that is helpful in trying to get my name out in the world of readers. Somewhere in there, writing happens.

4. What scares you?
LOL!! The list for this could go on for a while, but I fear snakes and things that go bump in the night (even though I write about them lol!!!). I maintain just enough fear of failure that I keep trying and trying and trying some more so I can keep that darn beast at bay :-)

Here's where I break the rules. I'm supposed to tag 3 to 4 others. And I would if it weren't for this pesky inability to pick just 3 or 4 or 6 or 10. So, if you'd like to answer any of these questions, do so below OR you can blog your answers and just link back to me here :-)

We have a six foot long black snake, very harmless, living under out shed in FL. Nice little fellow who wouldn't harm a fly, but now if you are a rodent, watch out! No matter what decade in your life, time is always a problem. I think you have your priorities straight on time use. Great post. Thanks.

Truly admire how hard you work to make your writing happen, AB! Know you're a committed family-woman, work a day job, etc. and those things aren't easy to juggle with writing. Stress is my personal writing kryptonite. If my mind isn't somewhat clear, it's really hard for me to get into the writing zone.

It never seems to matter what it is you are trying to fit into the schedule, but there is rarely enough time for it, LOL. Between all y'all Texans and your snakes...at least out here we can hear the rattlers and give them a wide berth before we see them, usually.
